Description
Tiki Pop: A Visual Feast of Cultural History In the mid-20th century, the Tiki phenomenon swept through America, influencing fashion, music, and architecture. This book explores the development of Tiki as a cultural icon, tracing its roots from ancient Pacific Island expeditions to its spectacular downfall in the face of colonial misdeeds. Through hundreds of images, Tiki Pop reveals the evolution of the Tiki figure from its earliest, enthusiastic beginnings to its widespread popularity. The book is the culmination of extensive research by Sven Kirsten, an urban archaeologist and Tiki expert, who places venerable ancient godheads alongside their Polynesian pop counterparts in a visually striking way. A unique blend of cultural history, visual feast, and tribute to a particular vision of paradise, Tiki Pop is a fascinating exploration of a pop culture phenomenon that continues to captivate audiences today.
